Yes, but like I said, the world moved on and the UK

So. Things move on like the EEC becoming the EU.


Still does well with docos and to a lesser
extent TV series, but thats about all now.

Whether that is good or not no ones really knows.

Something similar happened with the industrial
revolution too, particularly when it started to produce
the sort of gear that farmers etc were buying.

Such a JCB's

Much more tractors etc.

We have a vintage machinery field day every year
and its interesting to see how little of it is of UK
origin, its almost entirely of US and Oz origin.

The UK had farming machinery before the USA.

And then the USA left the UK for dead on that.

Same with railways and almost everything else too.

No **** sherlock, maybe it's because it's so much bigger,

What I said originally, ****wit.

So how comes they didn't invent the railway,
or computers amonst many other things.

But later than that they did the full commercialisation
of almost everything that matters,

China's done thqat too.

Bull**** it has. Name even one example of that.

Transport including cars, bikes, trains & aircraft.
They have even landed on the moon.



from the credit card

and the oldest currency still in use, the UK pound.

And **** all use it now.

Still enough for it to matter, and still 4th in the world for business
now where does the AUS dollar fit in this ?



One day the USA will go metric too.

Irrelevant to what is being discussed.

very relivant if they want to join the rest of the world.



to the best fast food to

define best fast food,

What sells the most. I left that word out.

china has more fast food that mcdonalds adn fast food wasn't invented in the USA anyway.


do you mean Mcdonalds ?

That and plenty of others.

Even pompeii had fastb food.


mass produced cars to TV, mobile phones, applepay
googlepay, laptops, etc etc etc. Even exported some
of the best ideas in retail stores and breakfast cereal
to that soggy little frigid island and now owns Cadbury.

It owns the name,

It does a lot more than just that.

Like what copy the recipe ?


but the best chocolate isn't american.

It isnt cadbury either.

I never said it was.


Like the plow**** said originally, it aint the invention that matters.

Much easier to copy what someone else has done yes,

It isnt copied with what I listed.

Just differnt varaitions on a theme.


We think Boris is an idiot

But gave him a very decent majority,

depends how you count.

very relivant if they want to join the rest of the world.

They clearly dont have any problem flogging Boeings
and mustangs and plenty of Fords in europe too.

They can use whatever they like but the still have to
use metric if they want to export to other countries.

Boeing and the mustang dont.

So. Just 2 companies in the world is that all you can find.
When was the lasat time yuo bought anything from either of those compannies..
The boeing 737 max such a shining example too.






But not the full commercialisation of it with franchise chains.

How do you know what happend,

We know when franchise chains were
invented and fully commercialised.

you don't, if you did you could prove it.

Franchises started in the middle ages not with mcdonalds !




Just differnt varaitions on a theme.

Bull****. The fast food franchise chains are
nothing like the traditional fish and chip shop.

We had the start of franchises in teh middle ages

BULL****.

The Middle Ages, as strange as it sounds, is where the business model of franchising started to appear.

No but who invented the first electronic

it wasn't steve jobs or bill gates so what went

there
?

That country never had anything like enough kids and
others
with enough spare cash to make what Gates and Jobs
were
flogging economically viable. So the world moved on,
just
like
it always does.

Without the UK the USA wouldnl't be the country it is
today.

Yes, but like I said, the world moved on and the UK
became completely irrelevant by the time the personal
computer showed up and never was viable in that area.

So. Things move on like the EEC becoming the EU.


Still does well with docos and to a lesser
extent TV series, but thats about all now.

Whether that is good or not no ones really knows.

Something similar happened with the industrial
revolution too, particularly when it started to
produce
the sort of gear that farmers etc were buying.

Such a JCB's

Much more tractors etc.

We have a vintage machinery field day every year
and its interesting to see how little of it is of UK
origin, its almost entirely of US and Oz origin.

The UK had farming machinery before the USA.

And then the USA left the UK for dead on that.

Same with railways and almost everything else too.

No **** sherlock, maybe it's because it's so much bigger,

What I said originally, ****wit.

So how comes they didn't invent the railway,
or computers amonst many other things.

But later than that they did the full commercialisation
of almost everything that matters,

China's done thqat too.

Bull**** it has. Name even one example of that.

Transport including cars, bikes, trains & aircraft.

They never did the FULL COMMERCIALISATION of those first.

Copying what someone else has done isn't too difficult.

That isnt what happens with the FULL
COMMERCIALISATION of an idea.

Which started thousands of years ago,

Duh,

there;s no evidence it started in the USA

No one ever said that did. Having fun thrashing that straw man ?

And since this **** is the best you can manage, here
goes the chain on the rest of your even sillier ****.
